It is perfectly reasonable to call Pakistan a terror state.

Perfectly reasonable? bullshit! Stop acting like a typical Indian, or if you are resorting to becoming one, then also accept that India is also a terrorist state that has done state-sponsored Terrorism in countries like Canada, Bangladesh, Pakistan, among others.

Can you own people stop voting for the fascist Modi and his BJP Hindutva ideology, which is revered in India? It preaches hatred against Muslims only, and they have won elections doing exactly that as well.

User Banned (1 Month): Xenophobic Rhetoric

Took them a while but after 300 wikipedia articles Dubs figured out that "Stop acting like a typical Indian" is a messed up insult

[benji]

Pretty sure I've been told that's community self-policing and it's perfectly fine even, and maybe especially, when you use racial slurs during it. Not surprised the white lib staff is yet again silencing voices against the rogue terrorist state.

[DavidCroquet]

A hero is on it.

"In the future, there are a number of institutions that emerge… that are community-run institutions where, if you are a Bire poster, you can go ahead and sign up for a reservation slot to an all-day access to one of many breeding facilities where you get to breed the sh*t out of that ResetEra Staff p/bussy, you can absolutely devastate that sh*t, f*cking destroy it, murder it. They have to cycle the staff out. We have breeding saunas, breeding bookstores, breeding movie theatres. This is something we're building. This is the future. This is what Erans don't want. The future that I want… is a world where you can walk down the street and don't even have to worry about whether you're going to be able to breed that good p/b*ss. That's the future for all of us."

Should be fine to post this on era...it never mentions anything about rape!

I noticed as well. Something had to have happened to him. Broke an ankle, his egg hatched, etc. 

Anyhoo, wish him well.

Have to assume he lived with his parents still, so no worst case, really, just go back home. unless he fell off a cliff

Time for a new thread.

I've been thinking about death for the past week because my last local friend got a worse beater car to replace the one that broke down, and it's not able to help me move in case of a new eviction.

The uncertainty surrounding my lemon phone is at peak. I literally don't know what I could do to speed up the process or guarantee anything anymore.

The thing that broke me: my last friend's introverted close circle on Vancouver Island offered to help them, but that circle denies me any help unless I am a full time working neurotypical. If they accept that help I will have no help remaining.

All this has made me seriously consider medical assistance in dying because I don't see anyway I can progress to function anymore.

No donation links this time. I'm at the end of my rope and I personally believe you all have shattered trust in me to offer help. If you do feel genuine, you'll use search to look up the links on my account.

5Worse yet, OCD in paying attention to detail is something I value but most other neurotypicals find like a fly buzzing in a room that can't get out.

Even incompatibility amongst neurodiverse like ADHD with autism vs ADHD without autism is enough to get me to have tons of unnecessary fights and tension over how they fixate on what I do that doesn't fit being neurotypical. That then leads to them using it to generate emotions of disgust and fresh gossip. #aspie #aspielife

@actuallyautistic My psychiatrist today tried to load me up with more anti-psychotics so I could be more complacent. If this is an attempt to INTRODUCE brain fog so I'm even more helpless, do you see how the system is DESIGNED to get people to be helpless? #aspie #aspielife

@actuallyautistic Hope to escape my situation erodes day by day. When factoring in government eugenics, they want to wear down those that fight for a better life to the same level as low IQ retarded people, so they enter group homes where they surrender all their rights and get treated like people with legit retardation. Once you go that low, you're trapped in the system for life... never able to accomplish anything and just being cared for like long term care homes. #aspie #aspielife

@actuallyautistic Picture this, you don't like how the government treats you, but then the government fights back by controlling your emotions through medication. Now imagine if that's the Donald telling you to get on meds because you're too loud. Most trapped in the system submit, but we're seeing MANY Americans in the other context not submitting.

It's made infinitely harder for us because it's easy to justify insanity vs the politics happening where a lot of people are upset and it can't simply be written off as insanity. #aspie #aspielife

@actuallyautistic still no ETA on the lemon phone screen. I could really use help with funds to avoid cabin fever, especially since if my government supports see evidence of irritability, they will enforce more medication to dumb me down to the point of accepting group home housing as a low IQ tenant. #aspie #aspielife

RE really can't see how the whole Ana Valens thing is personal grievance shit

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

I'm going to be blunt, Crime Boss didn't drop you because of a Vice article from a couple weeks ago. Nor did they drop you because of a viral clip or two. It's your actions, and your repeated actions, that are landing you in trouble. It's why you had your issue with Offkai. It's why I decided to report on you.

Meanwhile also Ana Valens:
"Hey sponsors, you really need to drop this particular v-tuber, not because of something they did but because their community is mean"

It's just a pissing match between terminally online people and the virtuous Resetera leftists are too blind to see it.

[benji]

Of course neither VICE nor any other outlet, let alone ResetERA.com, would give a shit if someone started tweeting at them with what Valens "community" wrote about Jesse Signal for not understanding the "joke" about breeding women. Valens wasn't sending their "following" after him because he dared criticize Valens. That was just The People holding Jesse accountable for his genocidal bloodlust.

[Boredfrom]

Both of them seem made for each other.

I know Vice have no standards but, if any editor readings these posts, THIS IS THE REASON YOU DONT PUBLISH AN ARTICLE WHERE THE REPORTER BECOMES THE STORY.

Got to say I'm pretty shocked that a journalist reporting on trans issues such as the vtube opinion economy is an attention seeking sex offending dangercrime

Waypoint Stands With Ana Valens
It’s time to definitively stand on business and say that what’s happening to Waypoint’s own Ana Valens is utterly unacceptable.
By Dwayne Jenkins
May 12, 2025, 11:16am

Often, when faced with an immense wave of hatred, it’s easy to cower. To capitulate. To allow them the satisfaction of knowing they’ve broken you. But then, along comes people like Ana Valens, who willingly throws herself into the fires of humanity’s worst to shine a light on how rotten certain sections of the internet are.

For the necessary full context, please read Ana’s piece on the harrowing (and continuing) harassment she’s been facing. She’s much better at properly articulating the full scope of everything she’s going through, but I’ll sum it up. Ana is being attacked for simply asking questions about certain areas of the VTubing community — which she’s an active part of. What began as asking about VAllure’s stances on trans creators working for them spiraled into a full-blown hate campaign once Ana started questioning why prominent VTuber, Kirsche, was being promoted and represented by Gamer Supps following many, many worrying red flags.

Since then, Ana has been receiving vitriol from nearly every corner of the internet. For the sake of everyone’s sanity, I refuse to give those people power by explicitly naming them. Y’all won’t be receiving that satisfaction here. Instead, I’m going to let everyone have a little sampler of what’s been going on for the past week or so.

ANA'S STRUGGLE MUST BE SHOWN IN ITS TOTALITY

So, here’s the deal. Ana’s ongoing plight has reached critical mass. The people advocating for Ana, anyone belonging to the LGBTQIA+ communities, and any other marginalized groups, to endlessly suffer? That’s only one part of a truly disgusting equation. The other — equally important — part is: Why are clear, unambiguous bigots and racists allowed major platforms? Why are they given sponsorships and brand deals?

Because we can bicker back and forth online all day long, but at the end of the day, the likes of YouTube, Twitch, and every other notable space that allows this to thrive and fester? Those are the ones who need to be forced to come out and say, “Yes, this is the kind of content we want and will subsist from going forward.”

For all y’all goofy racists and bigots? I don’t have the time to address you directly. Reason won’t work with you — you’re all lost causes. But I know that Ana (and myself as a Black man) wants every notable platform, from games journalism to the games industry and every other major media company? Own your stance. You will not be allowed to sit on the fence any longer. Either you reprimand and punish the bigotry, racism, and hatred, or you come out and admit that that’s exactly the audience and legacy you want.

THE TIME FOR GAMES IS OVER

Twiddling your thumbs and pretending it isn’t there isn’t sufficient. Sure, it’s Ana today. But after the LGBTQIA+ “issue” has been dealt with among that crowd? It’ll be “the Browns” (which is currently happening, too). Then, “the Blacks.” Hate has a tendency to do that — become an ever-growing pit that’ll never be satisfied.

Because they need an opponent. For many of them, hatred is their brand — it’s all they have to make up for the fact that, without it, they have nothing. There certainly isn’t a personality worth being around underneath all of that filth, after all. They’re classical bullies. And they crave your engagement. So, rather than engaging them personally, you engage the forces funding and feeding their nonsense.

The ball’s in everyone else’s court now. Choose.

Dwayne Jenkins is Waypoint’s Managing Editor. Formerly, he was an Editor for Ranker’s Total Nerd vertical, an Associate Editor for We Got This Covered and PC Invasion, and a freelance Video Game Reviewer between a few gaming publications (including Common Sense Media and Game Rant). He’s always adored gaming, owning nearly every console from the PlayStation 1/Nintendo 64 generation and onward. A champion of indie games, Dwayne constantly fights for and highlights underrepresented voices, perspectives, and experiences.

Some of his favorite games include: Banjo-Kazooie, Psychonauts, Hollow Knight, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, Baldur’s Gate 3, Not for Broadcast, and Dishonored (to name a few)! With an extensive background in writing and editing across the Entertainment spectrum, Dwayne does what he’s always wanted to do: discuss games industry topics and stories with a critical, nuanced eye, respecting the tireless work and craftsmanship that goes into game development. (If you need to contact me, send me a message on LinkedIn or Bluesky!)

edit:

Today marks the 7-month anniversary of “Nu Waypoint,” actually. And if I had to do this all over again, knowing I’d be a villain in games journalism’s rogues’ gallery? I would in a heartbeat. Because here’s the stone-cold truth: for as doomed as this vessel may be? It’s a vessel with many eyes on it. And with that visibility, we always lend the mic to underrepresented games. Indie teams can easily use this brand to get their projects the recognition they deserve.

If I’m meant to go down with the “Nu Waypoint” ship and be eternally doomed in games journalism if (or “when”) the bottom falls out? Y’all better not ostracize everyone else on this team. Shaun, Anthony, Matt, Brent, and Ana? They all hopped aboard a disastrous situation for themselves simply by aligning with “Nu Waypoint.” Because I promised them more than the cataclysmic lows we were accustomed to. I told each of them that this would be better than that. Don’t punish them for simply wanting an unoppressive space to freely talk about a medium they love.

Y'ALL CAN TELL ME TO GO TO HELL BUT LEAVE MY TEAM OUT OF IT

As of this writing, in real time, Ana is the subject of a dedicated, impassioned hate campaign against her.

And her story isn’t reaching the right spaces, partially because of the reputation of “Zombie Waypoint.” I acknowledge the reasoning behind ResetEra, Aftermath, and anyone else who wants this outlet to perish because y’all believe I had no right to accept this job — or that this is a mockery of what existed before.

Maybe we make it to a full year and beyond. Maybe we don’t. But one thing I won’t allow is for anyone to erase and ignore all the good everyone here has done. And if you think this team hasn’t done anything worth acknowledging? Allow me to prove you wrong.

wasn't the whole point of giantbomb that gerstmann et al were sick of the type of gaming media that fired him over giving a low review score, and they wanted to make a new site where they could do whatever they wanted?

wasn't giantbomb founded to be independent?

yay it's the same thing it was before?

also does anyone care about anyone there now that basically the whole crew has cycled out?

[DocWager]

“Whiskey Media”, but they soon realized they needed financial backing so they basically got brought back into the Gamespot fold at CBS. 

I stuck around for a bit there. But Ryan dying killed it for me, and Jeff became kind of bitter because of it. You can tell Jeff’s personality changed with having to be the boss after Davis passed. But it did seem like the crew didn’t personally like Ryan, or really love Jeff. It’s just Ryan was the perfect guy to steer those egos even if he was a taskmaster.
